Yes, a lot of people are excited about this movie. It's a weird concept with fantastic marketing, and indie movie royalty writing and directing. If it gets bad reviews, then sure no one will see it - it'll be another Babylon. If it gets good reviews, it'll be huge - and might even get Oscars.

It’s going to flop - mark my words.

We'll see. I suppose my kids (girls, 16 and 12) and I (51 YO mom) are the target demographic, but we are ready to see this on the big screen.

My husband and I - both 50 - are excited to see it, too.

I’m sorry but that’s lame.

Are you not familiar with Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach? I'm going to assume so. If you were, you'd understand.

NP and I am familiar with them and honestly that doesn’t draw me to the movie. Noah Baumbach makes heavy, depressing movies like that one with Scar Jo and Adam Driver.

I have never heard of Greta Gerwig or Noah Baumbach.

Really? Greta has directed 2 Academy Award Nominees for Best Picture in the last 6 years. She herself has been nominated for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay & Best Adapted Screenplay. She’s also been nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Globes for an entirely separate picture. If you’re remotely a movie watcher (and if not, why are you commenting in this thread?), it’s really on you if you’ve never heard of her.

I haven’t heard of any of their films except Marriage Story. I liked that but it wasn’t a comedy.

You are so proud of your small minded ignorance. You sound uneducated, likely from a small town in a red state where everyone is proud of hating anyone who is different from them.

Eh, it looks campy & stupid, which some people like, but I’ll pass.

That was an unusually grim movie for him. Usually they are about families falling apart, but with a lot more humor (though that one had humor in it, too).

This is mostly Greta Gerwig's movie, though - she directed it, she is the primary writer (NB is second). It's her vision. I trust her to make something that will be good and that I will enjoy seeing. I do like NB, too, though. (FWIW they are a couple - you probably know that.)

The Squid & The Whale, Frances Ha? Lady Bird, Little Women? These are all great films. I would be significantly less interested in seeing this if Greta Gerwig was not involved.

I believe I saw Lady Bird. Haven’t heard of Frances Ha or the Squid and the Whale. I’m sorry but this just isn’t impressive to me.

Wow. You are making a ton of incorrect assumptions. I never said anything about hating anyone. I just have never heard of those two. Therefore I am uneducated and from a red state? I’m going to now assume you are a teenager. Or at least someone with serious mental issues.

In the time it's taken you to be defensive about not knowing these filmmakers, you could have tried watching some of their movies. You don't need to be up on cultural stuff if you don't want to - but you don't get any points for deciding to opt out of basic knowledge about current filmmakers. It seems like you're just not interested in movies. That's fine! But it's certainly not something to brag about.

NP but Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig being ‘cultural stuff’ is the epitome of white liberals in this area. I’ve heard of them but if I asked my DH who is black he would have no clue who they were. You are pretentious in your assumptions. And probably not that fun to interact with.

PP again and I’ve seen some of their movies. Kind of boring, or depressing. Not as impressed as all those cultural people out there.

Np. I like their movies, but I don’t choose movies based on how light and happy they are, or the race of the director. YMMV.

I was determined to hate this but the trailer was excellent and Ryan Gosling hilarious.

Who said they chose movies based on the race of the director? I don’t know the directors of half the movies I see. Way to make assumptions.

And you don’t choose movies based on how light and happy they are is an interesting comment on a thread about the Barbie movie.
